The papers trace the history and evolution of local self-governance in India. They deal with devolution of powers under the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), transparency in their working, capacity building of local leaders, the concept and extent of fiscal decentralisation and the role of state finance commissions, and women’s empowerment through PRIs. They discuss the role of PRIs in land reforms, legal and judicial reforms in them, election to panchayats, and role of PRIs in social development. They survey the functioning of the PRIs in the states, examining application of the provisions of the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 to the Sixth Schedule Areas of North-east India.
